Just a little rant:

I am realizing: I felt FINE (freaked out, insecure, neurotic and emotional ), miserable, depressed, angry, anxious, "crazy" etc in large part due to the ignorant, condescending, living in fantasy land, N , jealous, selfish, emotionally stupid people around me that constantly invalidated my feelings and spewed out patroning platitudes like "think positive" and "you can do anything you set your mind to" and "it's just a state of mind"

They didn't accept me and love me simply as I was (god forbid, I had a feeling that was considered "negative". Then, there was the all time famous "no, it didn't happen" or "that is not true" or "you imagined it").

Once I got away from those people (errr, for the most part. the office / work / my "career" not included) and continue to work hard to reverse the destructive tapes (thanks people) in my head, I feel better (I am not just inexplicably agitated. I am: miserable, depressed, angry, anxious, feeling invalidated, taken for granted, scared, terrified, etc ).

If "Dx"d with BPD, do the people in your life, the people that surround you, no matter how big or small a circle, validate, hear you, acknowledge, ACCEPT your feelings whatever they might be and LOVE YOU - on that less than fabulous day - even when you aren't liking yourself all that much at the moment.
